Abstract
- Introduction: Infection of the central nervous system with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be associated with movement disorders.<br />Case Report: A case of chorea during HIV encephalitis which responded well to antiretroviral therapy is reported. Choreic movements disappeared with a decrease of MRI lesions observed in basal ganglia.<br />Conclusion: The efficacy of anti-retroviral therapy in choreic movements, a rare syndrome with HIV encephalitis, can be underlined.
